Totsie was due today. I went out this morning to check on her . . .I wasn't really expecting any babies, since a lot of my does go over their due date some or have them later in the day.

I had also put tons of hay in Totsie's cage (covering the whole entire cage floor) last night before I went to bed. Tots had made no nest anywhere and had totally messed up the "nest" I had made in her box when I gave it to her. I was expecting babies to be all over the cage if she had them.

But, I came out and thankfully, she had made a beautiful nest in the box and had 8 babies in there!! All nice and healthy babies! Yay, praise the Lord! They are all chocolate colored babies, but I am not totally sure of all the colors yet. There's a few brokens and lots of solids. I think she may have a chocolate sable or two in there, but we'll see.

About Me

Hi! My name is Qadoshyah and I'm the oldest of 11 kids. I live on a ranch in the beautiful country of Northeastern Oklahoma with my family. We are a large household with so many kids that we have various projects going on: We raise goats, pigs, sheep, and rabbits (I raise the rabbits - cute little mini lops) on our 44 acre ranch. Our ranch is also home to bullmastiffs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, llamas, a donkey, a bottle calf, and several ranch dogs and livestock guardian dogs. The youngest two kids are boy/girl twins born in Feb. '05. The boy happens to have Down syndrome. He is such a blessing to our family :)! Our whole family is also gluten-free, which adds another interesting aspect to our large, active family. We also cook dairy-free & corn-free due to allergies a few kids have. Some of the family is also on the GAPS diet to restore gut health.
